What to Expect

On this half-day tour in Kauai, you will explore the panoramic Waimea Canyon, which Mark Twain called, "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific."

Waimea Canyon State Park encompasses 1,866 acres and is a popular tourist attraction on the island. More than ten miles long, and almost 4,000 feet deep, this marvel was formed by erosion and the catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauai.

The drive to Koke's State Park from Waimea on Hawai'i state road 550 provides 18 miles of scenic vantage points. The island of Niihau, only a short distance west of Kauai at that point, can be clearly seen from the highway. Once we reach the park, you will find a wilderness area with numerous hiking trails.

See Hanapepe Lookout, whichserved as the lush setting for Jurassic Park, as well as the exciting Spouting Horn, known for its crashing waves. You will also see the south coast Poipu Resorts made famous in the Elvis Presley movie, Blue Hawaii. View Koloa Sugar Mill, Queen Victoria's profile and Nawiliwili Harbor.
